Renew membership

Real Support. Real Savings. Real Community

Some days, dentistry feels like a whirlwind — packed schedules, tough cases, HR curveballs, insurance battles. That’s exactly why the Michigan Dental Association exists. We’re here with tools, answers, and a network of colleagues who’ve been there.

Because let’s face it — this job’s too demanding to do solo.

NOTE: This fall the MDA launched new website technology to better serve our members. Your previous password will not work on the new MDA site. You’ll need to reset your password when renewing or follow these steps to get logged in:

  • Enter the email you previously used and follow the prompts.
  • You’ll be asked to set your new password.
  • Once you’re logged in, you’ll be in your new Member Compass — a place where you can update your profile, see events, renew, and more.

It’s time to renew your membership

Your MDA membership keeps you connected to the community that supports Michigan dentistry — and the benefits that make it easier to thrive. Renewing is fast, flexible, and fully built around you.
